This whacko left out some key words, words that provide context as well as clear explanation:
“Well regulated” -— does NOT mean regulations by agencies
it meant and it means-— a well trained, ably
skilled in weaponry (maintenance, proficiency in shooting,
and well supplied with ammunition.
“Militia”- the word is capitalized, and the Militia was composed of all the able bodied (men) able to carry and use arms. The Federalist papers make clear that the Militia is
“all of the people” able to be called up. It does not mean the National Guard which is part of the DOD, except that each state’s Guard answers to the State’s governor.
“the People”— all law abiding citizens of the US. And the People are also the Militia- one and the same in participatory Republic.
“Security of a Free State”— means the security of the state of being Free. Not having a thing to do with any of the 50 States, but of all the people having the security of being Free.
The problem with the First Amendment is that in 1964 the Warren Court blatantly - and unanimously! - misread it.The First Amendment refers to “the freedom of speech, or of the press.” Well, guess what! “The freedom of speech, or of the press” refers to freedom as it existed before the ratification of the First Amendment.
The Federalists didn’t put a bill of rights in the Constitution precisely because they wanted no controversy over rights to arise in the debate over ratification of the Constitution. The Ninth and Tenth Amendments basically, in the mind of the Federalists, should not have been understood to be necessary - but they absolutely should have been sufficient without the first eight amendments.
The Warren Court posited that liability to libel/slander suits limited “first amendment freedom.” But in reality, the first amendment did not define freedom of speech and press. It only declared that freedom of speech/press was not changed by the Constitution.
And that is why the right not to be libeled or slandered was not changed by the Constitution. As everyone understood prior to 1964 and the New York Times Co. v. Sullivan decision.
Partisan Media Shill and Stooge alert.
Thanks RACPE.
FTFY
Agree, I was careless. The right to be free should NOT take a government to provide.
BTW we were doing a bunch of stuff two days ago and grabbed lunch from a McDonald’s that was *in* a Wal-Mart! Then ate in the car on the way to the next thing.

Given your tagline I just thought you should know.
The author obviously has no idea what the constitution is about.
The Second Amendment doesn’t GIVE a right to anybody, it just enters into coded law the GOD GIVEN RIGHT to defend yourself, your family, your neighbors and your property.

I’d consider reversing the order.
Well Mary Anne, you mean things like refusing a vaccine? Right? Right???
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008They don’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense. The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.
I think of it as the NatCCC, or more simply, as the NatCs...
knew it was in there somewhere “...equality and the collective good....”
